One of the most recognized names in American motorsports, Sammy Swindell, grew up watching his father behind the wheel at many of their local Memphis, Tennessee dirt tracks. In 1971, at the age of fifteen, Sammy took to the dirt at Riverside Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas. In his rookie season, the oldest of two racing Swindell brothers won eleven feature events.

Sammy is a three-time World of Outlaws champion and has won every major race on the circuit at least one time. In 2012, he won The Kings Royal at the famed Eldora Speedway for the fourth time in his storied career.

Swindell led the 2012 World of Outlaws points standings for 14 races up until July 3 when he suffered a series of mishaps that led to uncharacteristic DNF’s for him. Sammy leads the series in Quick Time awards, Features won and laps led to claim a podium finish at the end of the year for the 11th time in his career.

One of the master magicians of speed, Swindell’s car control and mechanical ability are second to none. When Sammy is on the track, he is a threat to win.

Swindell will seek his fourth World of Outlaws Series championship in 2013 competing in his famed No. 1 with backing from Big Game Tree Stands and Weld Wheels.

"You may be a woman who began watching Kasey Kahne because you thought he was cute, but now after watching you become intrigued by the competitiveness of it. You become a sports fan, which may not be the reason you originally got involved but it is now."

"…there are female fans who take apart engines and will take you apart if you have a problem with that; who are drawn to the danger and mystery of the sport; who watch races on TV to witness pure passion and unscripted emotion; who love the camaraderie of these family-friendly festivals; who feel the nervous anxiety of the lip-biting wives atop the pit boxes."
